Superhub (again)
 

I have now had the Superhub with 50mb for a week now. It is connected via my Apple extreme base station to my imac.
I had to make a slight adjustment to my AE settings but that is all. I am constantly getting 49+ mb for downloads and have had no problems at all.

My iphone works with the AE wifi as it has alway's done.

After what I had been reading about the Superhub I ordered with some trepedation , however I must say I am delighted with it.:D

Yes l upgraded my broadband and so far the Superhub is fine.

Re: Superhub (again)
 

Glad to hear your superhubs are working satisfactorally. :tu:

I wish mine was. It's been a bad day for it so far having spontaneously rebooted itself 5 times since midday. :shrug:

Re: Superhub (again)
 

Sorry to hear that and l hope it sorts itself out for you.

Pleased to read that, :)

My superhub is on the way to me, I use an Apple Time Capsule and am not looking forward to trying to set it up with the Hub

I've been reading horror stories all day about the Hubs poor wireless coverage, and unreliable wireless performance, rang to cancel but its on the way, :erm:

Any thoughts on the Hubs wireless performance?

All seem to agree that the HUB is very good using a wired connection but not so good on wireless any thoughts?

Re: Superhub (again)
 

Not everyone has those wireless issues, my wireless works perfectly and with good range. Hopefully your superhub will also work great.

Re: Superhub (again)
 

I used it mainly wired and didn't have much luck with it. Large file transfers made it crash and occasionally it would simply not respond on one interface (usually the lan, wireless would keep working. Though it did do it the other way around a few times).

Re: Superhub (again)
 

Nice to hear your Apple extreme base station is working well

Re: Superhub (again)
 

Thanks hope so to :erm:

Re: Superhub (again)
 

At the moment it seems fine Ken.

Re: Superhub (again)
 

Had my Superhub delivered today, thought I would set it up and take my Time Capsule out of my network until the bridge mode is patched down to the HUB

But although I was getting 31 meg with a wired connection to my Mac, I was only achieving 3 meg wirelessly not good :(

So following the Guide Here

I put my TC back in the network took about 10 minutes, I kept the wired connection to my Mac it still shows 31 meg, and now all my Wireless connection show 31 meg also, showing what a poor performance the Hub gives wirelessly

using the guide above all the ports on both the Hub and TC become available so you have 8 ports to play with

I just could not have put up with the wireless performance of the Hub it was truly awful, using the HUB as a modem and my TC as my wireless device my wireless speeds are 90% faster

So I have achieved my 30 meg upgrade although it had to be a work around

Re: Superhub (again)
 

Is there any way of dimming the blue lights on the SuperHub?

Re: Superhub (again)
 

Gaffer tape (multiple layers).

Re: Superhub (again)
 

Yes figured that out last night :)

Stuck some black electricians tape over the flashing network light :erm:

In the dark my office looked like it had a blue panda car light flashing inside it

Now I know why the power consumption on this hub is so high :shocked:

Thanks

Re: Superhub (again)
 

I finally saw a 'superhub' today. It's not exactly small, is it? Given that is has an external power supply, I expected something about half the size.

It seemed as if it can only be used vertically, and the cables come out the side, not the back? Note to designers everywhere: do not assume that what suits your furniture arrangement will be good for all users of the kit.
